I am trying to extract those subnodes, but I had got just headache so far...
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<supplyCrew xmlns="http://site.ddf.com">

</login>
<flightInformation>
<flights>
<item>
<arrivalDateTime>2010-11-08T22:48:00.000Z</arrivalDateTime>
<arrivingCity>ORD</arrivingCity>
<crewMembers>
<item>
<employeeId>020040</employeeId>
<isDepositor>Y</isDepositor>
<isTransmitter>N</isTransmitter>
</item>
<item>
<employeeId>09000</employeeId>
<isDepositor>N</isDepositor>
<isTransmitter>Y</isTransmitter>
</item>
</crewMembers>
</item>
<item>
<arrivalDateTime>2010-11-08T20:29:00.000Z</arrivalDateTime>
<arrivingCity>JFK</arrivingCity>
<crewMembers>
<item>
<employeeId>0538</employeeId>
<isDepositor>Y</isDepositor>
<isTransmitter>N</isTransmitter>
</item>
<item>
<employeeId>097790</employeeId>
<isDepositor>N</isDepositor>
<isTransmitter>Y</isTransmitter>
</item>
with the code I can get them, but I do not know how to select each one according to their tag name to insert them into a database.
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load("C:/Crew_Request_Sample.xml");
XmlNodeList elemList = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("item");
foreach (XmlNode node in elemList)
{
Debug.WriteLine(node.InnerText);
}
I need some direction, please.
The problem with using GetElementsByTagName("item")
here is that there are 2 levels of item
node - one as a child of flights
and another item as a child of crewMembers
.
Edit Now that the full xml is pasted, it is clear that there is also a namespace involved as well. To handle namespaces, make use of a namespace manager to define aliases for the namespaces, which you can then use in the xpath queries:
var nsm = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmlDoc.NameTable);
nsm.AddNamespace("s", "http://site.ddf.com");
var elemList = xmlDoc.SelectNodes("//s:crewMembers/s:item", nsm);
foreach (var node in elemList)
{
Debug.WriteLine(node.SelectSingleNode("s:employeeId", nsm).InnerText);
Debug.WriteLine(node.SelectSingleNode("s:isDepositor", nsm).InnerText);
Debug.WriteLine(node.SelectSingleNode("s:isTransmitter", nsm).InnerText);
}
You can do it using LINQ2XML..
XElement doc=XElement.Load("C:/Crew_Request_Sample.xml");
XNamespace e = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
XNamespace s = "http://site.ddf.com";
//this would access the nodes of item->crewMembers->item and put it into an Anonymous Type
var yourList=doc.Descendants(e+"Body")
.Descendants(s+"supplyCrew")
.Descendants(s+"flightInformation")
.Descendants(s+"flights")
.Descendants(s+"item")
.Descendants(s+"crewMembers")
.Descendants(s+"item")
.Select(
x=>new
{
//Anonymous Type
employeeId=x.Element(s+"employeeId").Value,
isDepositor=x.Element(s+"isDepositor").Value,
isTransmitter=x.Element(s+"isTransmitter").Value
}
);
You can then access yourList using for-each loop
foreach(var item in yourList)
{
Console.WriteLine(item.employeeId);
Console.WriteLine(item.isDepositor);
Console.WriteLine(item.isTransmitter);
}
I think you'll do it faster and easily using this technique
Linq To XML
There is a lot of examples in the site, so it 'll be easy to find what you want. Hope it helps.
